Chapter 38

There is no taboo against talking while eating in Western food, or rather, their slow pace of serving is to allow people to enjoy the food more and chat during the banquet to build relationships.

Under Katharine Hepburn's strong pressure, Tony Stark still reluctantly told the story of how he met Henry.

Katherine, who had just eaten a stalk of asparagus, said, "So you mean, the first time you met, little Tony and that someone were severely humiliated by Henry."

"No, I didn't. The one who lost face was that someone, it has nothing to do with me." Tony Stark tried hard to defend himself.

"Henry, can you really solve that kind of complex problem in an instant?"

Facing the question, Henry smiled and said, "Of course it's impossible. Even the smartest mathematician needs tools to calculate the answer, how could I know it at a glance."

"Then you are...?"

"As long as you are full of confidence and talk nonsense seriously, those who lack confidence will involuntarily believe someone's nonsense. That's why so many people love watching movies. Otherwise, how many plots are there that are logically inconsistent, or shots that violate physical phenomena."

"Hmm, this sounds like a filmmaker. If you don't believe that the things you filmed can be a box office hit, how can you persuade the film company and persuade the audience to buy tickets to the theater."

Tony, who finally found a chance to interject, retorted, "But this is not scientific at all." In fact, even now, he doubted whether the answer Henry said at the beginning was really just random. It was clearly the same as his answer...

Katherine criticized, "Little Tony, we are talking about the movie channel, not the Discovery Channel. If everything has to be scientific, George Lucas's Star Wars would be finished."

Tony muttered, "Anyway, this is unscientific."

"So the second time you met, little Tony was really so impolite, eating whatever he saw on the table." No matter what others said, Katherine could always jump out of the original perspective and comment on a matter with a unique vision.

Tony Stark protested, "That chef team was sponsored by me out of my own pocket, and the material costs were also paid by me. Why can't I eat the food made from those ingredients?"

Nodding in agreement without hesitation, Henry also said, "Yeah, yeah, of course you can. But at least you should state your identity and let people know that the boss has appeared. Otherwise, who would know if the person stealing other people's food is a tramp or someone else."

After refuting, Henry turned his head and asked Katherine, "Are all the men of the Stark family like this? No matter where they go, they think others must know them. This symptom of excessive self-confidence seems to be incurable."

"Yeah, this is already considered a terminal illness, and it's a hereditary family disease. I sincerely hope that their next generation can improve." Katherine followed the wind.

She asked again, "By the way, Henry, I know that the third time you met little Tony, you were following behind his butt and shooting black guns. What happened before that? That made you appear in such a wet and embarrassed state."

Tony hadn't asked this question, but that didn't mean he didn't want to know. So when Katherine asked, he rarely didn't talk too much, wanting to hear what Henry had to say.

Henry briefly described the process of him and Justin meeting again, and then the little fatty threw his mobile phone into the swimming pool and asked someone to pick it up.

After listening, Tony was the first to say, "This is the reason why you didn't want to save people. Because that fatty offended you first."

Henry explained, "I have to say, I was the last to know the target of those gunmen, Josh Hilton was that fatty. Before that, people were people, names were names, I didn't connect the two together."

"Then give you a second chance, will you save people?" Tony asked.

"Still won't." Henry rarely put on a serious expression and said, "Not to mention the bodyguard work of the banquet company, just dealing with some drunks or guys who are high. Dealing with that kind of guy with a gun was never my job.

"Besides, I've already quit, so for the banquet, I'm just a passerby with no weapons. What I have to consider first is to protect myself, not to wipe the butt for those rich young masters."

"But you still helped little Tony, didn't you." Katherine said.

Tony Stark said dissatisfiedly, "I was the one covering him. If it weren't for considering that there was an extra gun, and he wasn't like a novice, bang bang bang and emptied the gun, he could be an extra threat to those gunmen, I wouldn't have brought him."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly it." Henry said sarcastically.

Unfortunately, the old Americans didn't understand this tone, and Henry didn't want to explain anything, letting Tony brag about how brave he performed.

Henry just seriously wrestled with the asparagus on the plate, which was the main course of the day, and then casually echoed, helping Tony brag about his own performance.

Considering the main guest of the banquet, Katharine Hepburn was already at the advanced age of eighty-four. So the food Tony ordered was the best combination discussed by the chef and the nutritionist.

The meat part was not absent, but the portion was small, and it was stewed until it was soft and rotten enough, suitable for the old man's teeth.

Alex Hart and his wife were just at the age of pursuing a healthy diet, so of course, they had nothing to say about this meal.

On the contrary, the two young people could eat with relish, and Henry's performance in table etiquette was even better than Tony, the rich young master. Henry could also chat with the waiter in French, praising the taste of the food.

All of these couldn't help but make several elders increase their favor for this young man by a few points.

Katherine looked at people with kind and gentle eyes and asked, "Little Henry, how do you plan to develop next? You are a small actor in Hollywood now, according to little Tony's statement."

Was this intended to use her connections in Hollywood to help Tony repay the favor?

It seems that Katharine Hepburn was quite caring for this guy who was about the same age as her child.

However, Henry didn't want this favor. He shook his head and said, "I came to Hollywood to see the world. Although I've been mixing for less than half a year, I think I will change my career sooner or later."

"Don't want to be a big star?" Katherine asked with a smile.

"Rather than saying I don't want to be a big star, it's better to say that I don't want to pay the price required to be a big star. I would rather live more freely."

The lines Henry didn't say. Although Katharine Hepburn was still in the Hollywood circle and had a certain influence, she couldn't be considered a golden thigh to support someone.

Besides, the favor Tony owed hadn't reached the level where Katherine had to go all out to repay it. If it was just a simple opportunity, Henry didn't want to use it to gamble on this Hollywood future.
